I would not buy it... it has 882 heads on it, which 70s smog garbage. They do not outflow double humps, unless you hog a set of them out and then compare them to out-of-the-junkyard double-humps... that's why the old Z28 302 and 350 motors from the late 60s and very early 70s ran so much better than the pigs from the mid-late 70s, is the difference between those exact 2 kinds of heads. Also, the cam is not a good choice. It has stock valve springs, stock replacement push rods, etc. It's basically just a stock replacement motor with a huge intake and some chrome dress-up stuff slapped on it.

The short block might be OK but as a complete motor it's terrible.

It ceratinly won't pass any kind of emissions testing if you have that, and will be extremely difficult to fit under your hood.

Compression

Just be carefull with that compression rate.
Its seams kinda high for those heads and the carb

The only that may be strange is that it could ahve the wrong head gaskets and the wrong space between
Eatheri was an engine of ebay is kinda Shady n e way.
Your better of buying a eldelbrook crate motor for that money with like 390 horse
